Modelling of organic electrochemical transistors
Truksa, Jan ; Omasta, Lukáš (referee) ; Salyk, Ota (advisor)
The topic of this work is the making of a virtual model of a circular organic electrochemical transistor (OECT) and its electric field, and comparison of the computed results to a real system of rotationally symmetrical electrodes. The electric potential field in the transistor was modelled using the finite element method and the electric field and current field were determined using the results. Later, the electric potential field was mapped in a real system of aluminium electrodes, submerged in water. The electric field model of an unusually configured circular OECT is presented in this work. Due to insufficient computing capacity, the model had to be significantly simplified. The computed results agree with the experimentally determined potential field despite the simplification. The deviations of the model output characteristic from real OECT characteristic were caused by simplifying the model in respect to reality.

Organic solar cells based on lowmolecular materials
Omasta, Lukáš ; David, Jan (referee) ; Weiter, Martin (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on characterization of new organic materials suitable for use in solar cells. In the theoretical part, there is research on organic solar cells together with description of the photovoltaic energy conversion. In this part, description of the structure and general properties of materials used to produce solar cells is given. The individual characterization methods are also described. The practical part includes the preparation of thin layers of organic materials and their optical characterization. Preparation of solar cells with classic structure is also included together with evaluation and comparison of their photoconductivity and efficiency.

Printed Biosensor Based on Organic Electrochemical Transistor
Omasta, Lukáš ; Mikula, Milan (referee) ; Boušek, Jaroslav (referee) ; Salyk, Ota (advisor)
Organické elektronické zariadenia sú vyvíjané ako vhodné riešenia senzorov pre bioelektroniku, a to najmä kvôli dobrej biokompatibilite organických polovodičov v nich použitých. Takzvané biosenzory dokážu premeniť elektrochemické procesy na elektronický signál. Matrica takýchto biosenzorov môže simultánne skenovať množstvo biologických vzoriek, alebo rôznych tkanív v živých systémoch. Aktívnou súčasťou zariadenia je organický elektrochemický tranzistor (OECT). V tejto práci je diskutovaný teoretický rámec fungovania takéhoto zariadenia, jeho elektrická charakterizácia, aplikácia v biosenzoroch na báze buniek, spôsoby výroby a aktuálnym stavom techniky v oblasti organickej elektroniky. Experimentálna časť obsahuje konkrétne výrobné postupy vývoja OECT zariadení, ktoré boli použité v našom laboratóriu. Hlavný dôraz sa kladie na schopnosť vyrobených zariadení detekovať reakciu a monitorovať stimuláciu elektrogenných buniek. Za týmto účelom boli vyvinuté matice mikroelektródových OECT zariadení založených na polovodivom polyméri PEDOT:PSS. Tieto boli vyrobené s využitím bežnými tlačiarenských techník (atramentová tlač a sieťotlač) spolu so štandardnými litografickými postupmi. Najnovšie nami vyvinuté zariadenia dosahujú najväčšieho zosílením signálu, g = 2,5 mS a časovú konštantu t = 0,15 s. Tieto zariadenia sú porovnateľné, často dokonca lepšie ako niektoré iné najmodernejšie a plne litograficky pripravené senzory.

Deposition and characterization of low molecular thin films for organic photonics
Omasta, Lukáš ; Salyk, Ota (referee) ; Weiter, Martin (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on characterization of properties of new organic materials with respect to its potential application in organic photonics. The theoretical part contains a themed literature research on low molecular thin films for organic photonics, mainly phthalocyanines together with description and structure of the photovoltaic energy conversion. The practical part includes the preparation of thin layers of selected organic materials for organic photonics. Prepared thin films were characterized by optical methods and current voltage characteristics. Based on these results, the thin films and structure of solar cells were optimalized. Acquired data were used to determine the materials and structures suitable for photonics applications.

Organic tranistors for sensorics
Marková, Aneta ; Omasta, Lukáš (referee) ; Vala, Martin (advisor)
The aim was to find the best available commercial formulation of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and methods and subsequent treatment of thin films for organic electrochemical transistors (OECT). These films will be used in bioelectronic sensors to measure the physiological function of cardiomyocytes. Studied material was PEDOT:PSS in six different formulations. Thin layers prepared by spin coating were modified in three ways, namely (i) immersion in ethylene glycol, (ii) drying and (iii) a combination of drying and ethylene glycol. The layers were then tested for the influence of ethylene glycol, thermal stability, the impact of storage, influence of aqueous medium, and additional thermal annealing. According to the results obtained, the most suitable treatment of most materials was immersion in ethylene glycol followed by thermal annealing of the layer. It was found that the most appropriate material formulation was Sigma Aldrich 739 316 treated by the combination of drying, immersion in ethylene glycol and thermal annealing.
